Did you have to bake them to separate the glue and all that?
After just over a year of ownership, how do you like it? Do you daily drive it now that summer is here? How many miles have you put on it?

Edit: I haven't seen you in forever, maybe August 10th when I'll be up there?
At first, I tried putting the headlight into the oven, but it wasn't working well. I was also afraid of melting the lens causing distortion.

I ended up using a heat gun on medium setting. I was able to soften the rubber sealant enough to pull the lens and housing apart. It was a pain in the ass, and I don't think I'll ever again.

I still really like the car. I've had no real issues, only one recall for the brake switch. I've put about 7,000 miles on the car (didn't drive it in the Winter).

Let's catch up when you are in town!
